    Ingredients

    • Olive Oil
    • Ground Beef
    • Onion
    • Minced Garlic
    • Sea Salt
    • Coarse Ground Black Pepper
    • Chili Powder
    • Paprika
    • Gluten Free Brown Rice Elbow Pasta
    • Beef Broth
    • Milk
    • Cheddar Cheese
    • Worcestershire Sauce
    • Ketchup
    • Spicy Brown Mustard

    Instructions

    In a large 6-quart dutch oven over medium heat add the olive oil and begin to brown the ground beef. After most of the ground beef is cooked with just a little pink showing add the onion and minced garlic. Cook for a couple more minutes until the onion is translucent. 

    Add the salt, pepper, chili powder and paprika and cook for about one minute.

    Add the elbow pasta, beef broth and milk to the mixture. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 7-8 minutes stirring often until the pasta is el dente. I like to test my pasta with a fork to make sure I can easily cut it in half and there isn't any crunch left to the pasta.

    Remove the dutch oven from heat and stir in the shredded cheese, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and mustard until well blended and creamy.

    Serve immediately.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What side dish goes well with this recipe?

    Steamed vegetables are a great side dish with this recipe. My seven layer salad or easy pea salad would also be really great options for a side dishes.

    What type of pot should I use for this recipe?

    I use my 6-quart cast iron dutch oven to make this recipe. This allows me to brown the meat and saute the onions all in one pot. Then I just add the rest of the ingredients and simmer until the meal is done.

    I don't think you need an expensive dutch oven for making meals. This Lodge dutch oven or this Beautiful dutch oven are also really great choices.
